LANDSLIDE CHORD CHARTS & LYRICS

 

THANKS FOR LEADING LANDSLIDE!

Inspired By: Hebrews 4:14-16, Romans 6:5-11, Psalm 16:11, Galatians 5:1, John 8:31-36

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let’s hold firmly to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things just as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need. Hebrews 4:14-16

Take a minute and read through that passage in Hebrews again. Meditate on the gravity of what it says: We have a God who stepped down from the Heavens, came here to be with us and to be like us. He was born an infant (an absolutely helpless tiny human) —and given the earthly name “Jesus.” As He grew up from young child to man, Jesus was tempted in all things just as we are, but He did not sin. In fact, He humbled Himself and became a servant to others. He can sympathize with even your greatest weakness. He knows what you are feeling, because like a faithful friend, He has been there. And as a loving Father, He is here with you in this moment as well. 

So what does Scripture tell us to do? Are we to approach a throne of judgment with fear? Absolutely not. We are to approach the throne of GRACE with CONFIDENCE. Why? Because Christ came not only as the great high priest, but as the sacrificial lamb to atone for our sin — past, present, and future. And the price He paid was paid in full.

Consider this reminder in Romans 6 —

“For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin … For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:5-6;10,11 10-11

No matter the circumstance or struggle you are facing, no matter the sin in which you find yourself so readily entangled, you can approach the throne of grace with confidence today. You’ve already been forgiven at the foot of the Cross. And because of His mercy, you were set free from the wages of your own sin and death at that empty tomb. You no longer need to be enslaved to your sin, not because of anything you have done, but because you are a child, an heir, of the One who has humbled Himself as a servant and already done it all for you. 

So choose today to rest in His mercy, immerse in His forgiveness, and rise up the freedom that you already possess. His name is Jesus, and in His presence is fullness of joy.

LYRICS:
I am covered by the blood of Jesus Christ
All my sin and shame forever crucified
Risen from the grave, from darkness into light
With confidence I stand, forever justified

There is freedom in the name of Jesus Christ
In Your presence my soul is satisfied 

No greater love than this, the Savior died for me
I am now an heir, a child of the king
Risen from the dust, into eternity
With confidence I stand, with confidence I sing

There is freedom in the name of Jesus Christ
In Your presence my soul is satisfied 

I’m drowning in Your mercy
Deeper than the sea
I’m buried in forgiveness
Like a landslide over me
Now I sing forever
A song of victory
I’m rising up in freedom
As you’re resurrecting me
